Community Scholar-in-Residence Fellowship

The Community Scholar-in-Residence fellowship program enables UB
faculty to collaborate with community research partners on
community-based research activities and grant proposals while at
the University at Buffalo.

Program Description

CEPP invites nominations from UB members of faculty for
Community Scholar-in-Residence Fellowships. These fellowships
will enable a community research partner, from outside academia, to
spend a month (or equivalent) at UB working collaboratively with
faculty partners to develop or advance a community-based research
and/or a research grant proposal. As of 2014-15, multiple
fellowships of $3,000 may be awarded to Community Scholars each
year.

Applications for all CEPP Research Fellowships, including
Grant Development Fellowships and Research Dissemination
Fellowships, and Community Scholar-in-Residence
Fellowships are due on April 6, 2015. Application information
is available under Fellowships
here.
